Ladhams needs a blinder
If he turns up to the SCG wearing a flat cap, I'm gonna be concerned.

Who we got to put pressure on him though might be the problem
If he gets throught the game going OK, and not punching anyone; I'll take it.

Champagne comedy.
I don't know why I'm surprised there's some short memories among Swans fans, or the willingness to sink the boot into valuable servants of the club that have been Best 22 in several positions, but it is disappointing.

I’m a huge fan of the Port boards.
“Sack Hinkley” is now up to thread no.8
And their ins / outs this week have been artfully described as “preferring the sh*t sandwich over the giant douche”.

It's not a Sunday game.
Hinkley turned things around for their club where they had to resort to putting tarps to hide the empty stadiums.
Sure he may not get them all the way but they have had their chances.
Port's history is supposedly about being ruthless in the pursuit of flags. Hinkley and others, including investment in the footy dept, turned things around early, but has since gone through a couple of squads worth of players, and squandered a lot of talent and opportunities, failing to even make a grand final, while dropping out of finals contention 3 separate times in his stint. Meanwhile there appears to be little accountability, they have preferred stability and cliches, which has not brought success.
I took a while to come around to the Sack Hinkley camp, but it's beyond reason now.

Harry has had one good game, one mediocre and one very poor.
He has spent his career being 18-30 on the list. At his age his ceiling has been reached
He was our best small defender for a few years, and was a starting wing/mid for a few years too. See comment re: short memories.
Aside from his injury return last year, since establishing his place in the side (2014) there hasn't been a year where Harry has only been considered 18-30 on the list.

Did not excel as a small defender. Lacked composure and not great at the transition game. Why he no longer plays there. Beatson has regularly recruited small defenders looking for the class we hav lacked since Smith retired.
Complete revisionism. Was excellent down back, had a couple of poor games early last year and was then injured, opening the door for others. Not only that, was one of our best ball users even while playing defence.

we agree to disagree…was always susso when on quality small forwards.
He wasn't Nick Smith, but was very good (and used the ball better).

Even if he was good in years gone by, the coaching staff us picking the best team for Rd 4 2023, form in 2019 shouldn't even be a consideration

Smith played within his limits and rarely erred.
That's not what I'm saying.

Bud kicked 35 of his 52 goals at the SCG last year, good to see him back home
